Default Free Mods?????

Are there any *free mods* that we can do to these cars to get any extra HP or just coolness factor? IE: unbolt this, tighten that...ect?

Ive allready lowered it as far as the stock bolts will allow, other that that the Z is all stock.

You can also cut your stock shifter down about an inch. It's free if you have the right size die in your tool box, otherwise it's about $10 for the die.

Learn how to shift the car quickly. I'm still coming to terms with the C5Z shifter after years of owning imports, and I lose all kinds of time with my shifting!

Port and polish your throttlebody and port your MAF sensor. Not totally free, but if you have a drummel tool and wand you are all set
